How to get only the date excluding time in asp.net c#

Question

How to get only the date excluding time in asp.net c#. I want only the date to be given as input to search like eg 3/11/2013

Answer 1

You can use DateTime.Date to get only date part of DateTime object

DateTime dateOnly = date1.Date;

A new object with the same date as this instance, and the time value set to 12:00:00 midnight (00:00:00).

If you have the Date in string and want to convert it to DateTime object first then you can use DateTime.ParseExact

result = DateTime.ParseExact("3/11/2013", "d/MM/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Answer 2

try to use this:

  @{
     DateTime dd=DateTiem.Now;
     string date=dd.toString("dd/MM/yyyy");
   }

Now to view just:

  @date

Answer 3

DateTime dt = your_Dt.Date;

OR

You can format it into whatever format you want as below:

dt.Tostring("MM/dd/yyyy");

OR

You can convert the valued to shortdate as:

Convert.ToDateTime(your_Dt).ToShortDateString();
